前方へ開口する商品投入口５５へ向けて傾斜配置したト
ップトレ・−５６とから構成されている。The product shelf 5 includes left and right shelf side plates 51, a plurality of sets of product rails 53 installed between the shelf side plates 51 to partition a vertical serpentine-shaped product path 52, and a product path 52.
It is composed of, for example, a star wheel type delivery mechanism 54 installed at the lower end, and a top tray 56 connected to the upper end of the product passage 52 and arranged at an angle toward the product input port 55 that opens toward the front of the cabinet 1. ing.
６は商品、７は商品搬出シュータ、８は冷却器、９は送
風ファンである。6 is a product, 7 is a product delivery chute, 8 is a cooler, and 9 is a blower fan.
上記のサーペンタイン式商品棚における商品６の棚内充
填は、前面扉２を開いた状態で商品投入口より次々に商
品６を投入して行う。The above-mentioned serpentine type product shelf is filled with products 6 by loading the products 6 one after another from the product input port with the front door 2 open.
投入された商品６は先ず商品を転勤ガイドするトップト
レー５６の上を矢印Ａのように転動し、その後端へ到達
したところでサーペンタイン形状の商品通路５２へ矢印
Ｂのように落下して棚内に収納され、その最前列の商品
が搬出機構５４に係止されて販売待機する。The loaded product 6 first rolls on top of the top tray 56 that guides the transfer of the product as shown by arrow A, and when it reaches the rear end, it falls into the serpentine-shaped product passage 52 as shown by arrow B and is placed inside the shelf. The products in the front row are locked in the carry-out mechanism 54 and stand by for sale.
次にこの販売待機状態から販売指令が与えられると搬出
機構５４が作動し、１個宛の商品６が矢印Ｃのように商
品取出口４へ向けて搬出される。Next, when a sales command is given from this sales standby state, the carry-out mechanism 54 is activated, and the single product 6 is carried out toward the product take-out port 4 as indicated by arrow C.
商品６が売りつくされれば、再び商品６を上方より棚内
へ投入して充填する。When all the products 6 are sold, the products 6 are again thrown into the shelves from above and filled.
この種のサーペンタイン式商品棚はびん商品あるいは缶
商品のいづれも扱えるようにした共用形のものが一般的
である。This type of serpentine product shelf is generally of a shared type that can handle either bottled products or canned products.
ところで缶商品は完全な円筒形であるから棚内での転勤
姿勢が安定し、１へツブトレー５６の上を転動する過程
でも直線的に転勤移動する。By the way, canned products have a perfectly cylindrical shape, so their transfer posture within the shelf is stable, and even in the process of rolling on the globular tray 56, they transfer linearly.
これに対しびん商品はそのびん首部が底部より細く径小
になっており、かつ全体としての形状も種々雑多である
ために、びん商品を横倒しにして転動させた場合の転勤
姿勢が安定せず、多くの場合に直進せずにカーブする転
勤軌跡を画いて姿勢が傾く。On the other hand, bottle products have a narrower neck and smaller diameter than the bottom, and their overall shapes vary widely, making it difficult to maintain a stable transfer posture when the bottle product is rolled on its side. In many cases, the transfer trajectory is curved rather than straight, and the posture is tilted.
しがもこのカーブの具合は転勤距離が長くなる程姿勢の
傾きが積算されて大になる。However, the condition of this curve becomes larger as the transfer distance becomes longer, as the inclination of the posture is accumulated.
一方、最近のサーペンタイン式商品棚ではセレクション
数、商品収納本数の増加を図る目的から商品通路数が第
１図のように複数列としたものが多く、このために後列
の商品通路に対するトップトレーの長手寸法も必然的に
長くなる。On the other hand, in order to increase the number of selections and the number of products stored in recent serpentine product shelves, the number of product aisles is often arranged in multiple rows as shown in Figure 1. The longitudinal dimension also inevitably becomes longer.
この結果、前述した転勤姿勢の乱れが原因となってびん
商品を商品投入口５５より投入すると、びん商品はトッ
プトレー５６の上を転動する過程で生じる姿勢の傾きが
大となり、しかも傾いたままの姿勢でサーペンタイン形
状に曲りくねった商品通路５２へ転勤落下することから
商品通路５２の途中に引掛って商品詰りとなる搬送トラ
ブルを引起すことがしばしば発生する。As a result, when a bottled product is loaded from the product input port 55 due to the above-mentioned disordered transfer posture, the bottled product becomes tilted in its posture during the process of rolling on the top tray 56, and is also tilted. Since the product falls into the serpentine-shaped product path 52 in the same position, it often gets caught in the product path 52 and causes transportation troubles such as product jams.
本考案は上記したびん商品販売の場合にその充填時に生
じる転勤姿勢の乱れを抑制して搬送トラブルの発生を未
然に防止できるとともに、一方では缶商品販売の場合に
は商品収納効率を高く維持し、しかもびん商品販売時と
缶商品販売時との切換操作が簡単に行えるようにした商
品棚、特にそのトップトレーを得ることを目的とする。The present invention prevents the occurrence of transportation troubles by suppressing the disturbance of transfer posture that occurs during filling when selling bottle products, as described above, and on the other hand, maintains high product storage efficiency when selling can products. To provide a product shelf, particularly a top tray thereof, which allows easy switching operation between bottle and can product sales.
以下上記目的を達成するための本考案の構造並びに使用

通路５２のうち最前列を除く後方２列の商品通路に連な
るトップトレー５６について本考案による２分割構造の
トップトレーを実施適用した例を示す。In the illustrated example, a top tray with a two-part structure according to the present invention is applied to the top tray 56 that connects to the product aisles in the two rear rows excluding the front row of the three rows of product aisles 52 lined up in the front and back shown in FIG. Here is an example.
前記トップトレ一部５６１．５６２のうち、後置トップ
トレ一部５６１はその長手寸法が短かく設定され、かつ
商品通路５２を区画する商品レール５３の上端に連ねて
棚側板５１の間はねし止め手段などにより固定的に取付
は設置されている。Of the top tray portions 561 and 562, the rear top tray portion 561 is set to have a short longitudinal dimension, and is connected to the upper end of the product rail 53 that partitions the product aisle 52 so that there is no space between the shelf side plates 51. The mounting is fixedly installed using a fastening means or the like.
これに対し、前置トップトレ一部５６２はその長手寸法
を前記後置トップトレ一部５６１の前端縁がら商品棚５
の前端までの残余の長さに合わせて定め、がつ取付け、
取外し力咄在となるよう着脱可能に装架されている。On the other hand, the front top tray part 562 has its longitudinal dimension equal to the front edge of the rear top tray part 561 on the product shelf 5.
Determine the remaining length to the front end of the
It is removably mounted so that there is no force to remove it.

トップトレーのように前置トップトレ一部５６２を取外
し、長手寸法の短がい後置トップトレ一部５６１のみを
用いてびん商品６１の充填を行う。In the above configuration, when selling the bottle product 61 first among bottle or can products, the front top tray part 562 is removed like the middle top tray in FIG. The bottle product 61 is filled using only the top tray part 561.
従ってこの場合には投入商品をガイドするトップトレー
の実質的な転勤直線距離が短かくなり、商品通路５２へ
落下するまでの転勤過程では転勤姿勢の安定性が悪いび
ん商品であっても殆ど姿勢の傾きを生じることがない。Therefore, in this case, the effective straight line transfer distance of the top tray that guides the loaded products becomes short, and even bottle products whose transfer posture is unstable during the transfer process until they fall into the product aisle 52 are almost always in the same position. No slope occurs.
この結果びん商品６１の充填時に際して問題となる搬送
トラブルの発生を防止できる。As a result, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of transportation troubles that may occur when filling the bottle products 61.

2 and connect it to the rear top tray part 561.
従ってトップトレーの長手寸法はびん商品販売時よりも
延長され、それだけ棚内の缶商品収納本数が増加できて
高い収容効率が得られる。Therefore, the longitudinal dimension of the top tray is longer than when selling bottle products, and the number of can products stored in the shelf can be increased accordingly, resulting in high storage efficiency.
なお缶商品６２は転勤姿勢の安定性が良いことからトッ
プトレーの上をころがる転勤直線距離が長くても姿勢の
傾きが生じる恐れはない。Since the canned product 62 has good stability in its transfer posture, there is no risk of its posture tilting even if the transfer distance in a straight line of rolling on the top tray is long.
